Do YOUR bands do this??
Why does this happen??
Layered bands are thin individual layers of latex continually wrapped around and layered until the desire thickness is created. It is than cut and glued down. The problem is this glue does not always adhere well especially on smaller bands where surface area is less.
Also smaller bands typically get stretched more which challenges the band structurally and can lead to peeling.
Can this be eliminated??
That is exactly what I asked over 1 year ago while designing a new band.
The answer ….YES!!
“The BAND” by Performax which is the exclusive band of www.resistancebandtraining.com uses a technique called “latex welding” to adhere that final end back down onto the band. By welding the end of the final layered back down onto the band it has eliminated peeling.
In the past 7 months that “The BAND” has been on the market I have had zero bands returned for fraying.
Problem Solved!!
If you have issues with fraying no problem… I have the solution.
Buy all your bands with latex welding which to my knowledge you will only find at

Dave, I’ve been ery happy with the bands I’ve purchased from you. I’ve been kind of frustrted with trying to separate the bands when they’ve been looped together for some lower body work. Any suggestions (powder?) for getting these buggers to release easier??? thanks, Dave Parsons
Dave, I have been very happy with the bands I have purchased from you over the last few years. My question is if you have any suggestions of how to get bands apart easily when joining 2 bands together for lower body work (powder??) Thanks for any tips, Dave Parsons

I am working very hard to develop a link to eliminate the need to link bands.
In regards to your present issue. Setting distances of stretch is the key.
I know you probably do that… I am willing to help you unlink but you would have to send them to me.
Sorry I do not have bettter answer at this time.

Dave, Posted my question regarding separating bands and never heard back????????
Dave,
Sorry I missed the comment,
Geting bands apart can be difficult if they have been left to long together…. Lets handle this by having you email me and I will either call you or email separately on this issue based on how tight the structure has gotten.
You can email me at dave@resistancebandtraining.com
Thanks
Dave
